True to her appreciation of Natural Law, the nature of her style is process driven. The artist uses gravity, chemical reaction and evaporation as her allies. When handling the syrupy paints she spills, heaves, rubs, sands back, dilutes and drips. Layer upon layer of shear and translucent earthy glazes create an ambiguity of depth and floating form.
Christie's work captures the beauty of Nature. She explores and reveals the weathering effects of exposure and time - unpredictable, yet certain. There is a sense that change is constant - creation, growth, weathering, erosion, repair, decay and rebirth ... The rich surfaces on her canvases reflect the cyclical processes of Life.
